Arc Raiders is a newly released extraction shooter from Embark Studios. Since its release in last year's October, the game has managed to maintain its deserving fame with constant gameplay updates and new content.
As you progress through the levels in Arc Raiders, you have to slowly focus towards getting higher-tier items to upgrade your workshop and other items. To source high-tier items, you need to have high-tier weapons and items. The best way of getting these weapons and items is by looting and through blueprints.
While by looting you can find these weapons and items in their readymade version, you can also make them on your own if you have learnt the blueprint for that item. Here's an in-depth guide on all blueprints and how to boost your chances of finding them in ARC Raiders.
All Blueprints and How You Can Effectively Find Them in ARC Raiders
Blueprints are a hot topic in the ARC Raiders community. Before the Cold Snap update's buff to blueprint drop rates, getting blueprints was the most difficult thing to do in the game.
For the past 100 hours in ARC Raiders, I have made rounds of every map and mode in ARC Raiders to round out my findings on how blueprint drops work. While the blueprint drop is fully RNG, I have rounded up a certain pattern on where most blueprints drop after finding multiple dupes. Currently, I have found all 72 out of 75 blueprints in the game. My blueprint collection was fully complete before the Cold Snap update, so most of my data is based on the initial blueprint drop rate and pattern.
Here's a complete table on all blueprints and how you can boost your chances of finding them:

If you're not in a rush, I will suggest playing at your own pace, and you'll end up with most blueprints in the game in no time. To further boost your chances naturally, make sure to loot the high-value loot areas. Moreover, make a habit of looting everything and anything in the game. Blueprints can spawn anywhere, including trash cans, dumpsters, server racks, ammo boxes, and every container in the game.
Blueprints like the Bobcat and Vulcano are exclusive to two timed events, Locked Gate (Blue Gate) and Hidden Bunker (Spaceport). You cannot get these blueprints in any other way. Moreover, the drop rate of these blueprints still remains random, but you can boost your chances by looting everything during these modes.
As for the rarest blueprint in the game, the throne goes to the Tempest blueprint. With less than a 0.50% drop rate, Tempest's blueprint is the rarest thing in the game. While I have found the BP 6 times during my blueprint hunting runs, I noticed that there is no drop pattern to this blueprint. You can only loot everything and hope that the blueprint pops up. Moreover, the Tempest blueprint is exclusive to Night Raid, so there is no chance of getting this blueprint in any other mode.
Lastly, blueprints in this game drop in a completely random pattern. However, you can boost your chances by running different modes and maps consecutively. Also try playing the harder map conditions to boost your RNG luck.
